Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the 18V lithium-ion battery is fully charged before first use. Slide the charged battery into the base of the hedge trimmer until it clicks securely into place. Read the user manual for specific safety instructions before operation.
Compatibility: This hedge trimmer uses the BLACK+DECKER® 18V POWERCONNECT™ battery system. The included battery and charger are compatible with all other BLACK+DECKER® 18V cordless tools within this range. Always ensure you are using a compatible battery voltage.
Care: After each use, clean the blades with a dry cloth to remove sap and debris. For longer-term storage, apply a light coat of oil to the blades to prevent rust. Store the hedge trimmer and battery in a dry, protected environment. Periodically check that the screws and handles are tight and that the blades are free from damage.
